One of the major constraints here is "he doesn't have a computer that he can install software onto", so that quickly rules out using using an installation of VirtualBox on his host computer (along with a linux guest distribution) as well as booting-up his host computer with a linux liveUSB/liveCD distribution. While it is not directly "learning Linux" by itself, the 'SDF Public Access UNIX System' https://sdf.org/ offers the useful ability to setup a free UNIX shell account on SDF using SSH (Secure Shell) or TELNET. IIRC, all Windows and Mac OS's have some equivalent of SSH and TELNET already available(?), so no additional installation of software is really required here. The SDF Public Access UNIX System uses NetBSD 7.x instead of linux. Another virtual means of "learning linux and coding of various kinds" is Zed A Shaw's 'Learn Code the Hard Way' series https://learncodethehardway.org/ . The 'Learn UNIX the Hard Way' site https://learncodethehardway.org/unix/ writes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Learn Unix The Hard Way is a full course in manual system administration of Linux, BSD, and OSX machines through continually setting up and breaking them. That's right, you'll learn how to configure and destroy Linux. If you're a DevOps professional or programmer who feels weak in your Unix skills then this book is perfect for you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have to break here, 'cause Jake just walked in for HHN. aaronco36 ---- aaronco36@ -- http://www.fastmail.com - Or how I learned to stop worrying and love email again

Re: [sudo-discuss] No Hardware Hack Nights forever or until...?

Was speculating that the SudoRoom HHN events were UNintentionally omitted from the wiki -or- intentionally omitted b/c of (1) the aforementioned temporary construction, (2) the December Holiday Season, (3) something to do with the SudoMesh Group not meeting this month perhaps due to Jenny R's post from a few wks back requesting ppl and assistance at Standing Rock, see https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2016-November/012617.html , (4) some part of the process and/or events feedback of SudoRoom transitioning to Omni Commons, see Jenny R's post https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/board/2016-November/000337.html , or (5) some other unknown reason. It turns out -- perhaps related to (4)?? -- that there is a noticeable difference between SudoRoom's own Calendar and the Omni Commons Global Calendar, https://omnicommons.org/calendar/ . For instance, as I wrote previously, the SudoRoom Calendar currently only lists the Wednesday Parties, whereas the the ONLY SudoRoom event that the Omni Commons Global Calendar prominently & currently shows is HHN (recurrent HHN events listing at https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/categories/sudo-room/ .) Any further thoughts on this? FWIW and related to (4), the 'Occupy the Omni Commons How to Request an Event' page at https://omnicommons.org/occupy/ describes how to get other SudoRoom-specific events listed on the Omni Commons Global calendar (such as the ongoing Wednesday Parties and the Thursday JS Study Group sessions if the latter are still happening) as follows: ~~~~~~~~ quoting ~~~~~~~~~~ Event requests are now due by the second Tuesday of the month for the following month. To request an event next month, submit your request by the second Tuesday of this month. We will review all requests received at our second Tuesday meeting and get back to you early the next week. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As all can see from either of the two calendar pages mentioned in this post, the second Tuesday of this month falls on December 13th.

No Hardware Hack Nights forever or until...?

Hi, Just wondering if/when the former Hardware Hacking Night events are happening? The Events page https://sudoroom.org/events/ currently lists only Wednesday Parties, and last week's post https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2016-December/012638.html describes this week's construction going on at Omni.

major Omni construction planned for next wk (Mon 12/5 - Fri 12/9)

by David Keenan

Hi all, As announced at the previous delegates meeting, next week we are planning to run plumbing lines from CCL from the Phat Beets room (and unclog the plumbing in the PB room). The planned schedule of work is Monday 12/5 through Friday 12/9, provided nothing unexpected comes up. This will necessitate digging a trench through the concrete from the PB room, across the hallway, into CCL's BSL2 lab. The trench will also produce large chunks of concrete in the hallway that may not be removed for a couple of days, *as well as dust and loud noise* in the hallway during the first workday while the trench is being made. *** This in turn means the 48th st hallway will for all intents and purposes be unusable during the week of construction ** * In addition, during this period, *we are asking that the 48th st curbside parking (adjacent to the 48th st doors) be dedicated to contractors involved in the construction*, as heavy chunks of concrete, pipes etc must ferried back and forth. Therefore we ask that any omnier parking there be onsite and OK with moving their car (or the job may get more expensive.) Approximately half of Phat Beets' room will have to be cleared out and the rest of the room tarped out. As I mentioned in a separate email, some of PB's property will be temporarily stowed in the basement while this work progresses, while their computers and so on will be temporarily relocated to the Omni office for them to work in, which will have a new lock on the door for that week. The day currently planned to move Phat Beets' gear is this Sunday 12/4, precise time TBD. *Please, anyone who is available to assist in this move, this will be an all-hands sort of thing and would be much appreciated* (contact me for more info.) As with the recent improvements undertaken and funded by CCL, these improvements will add substantially to the usability of the CCL/Sudo area and have been long-planned. In my opinion, Omni should be stoked that CCL is contributing so substantially toward improving the building, albiet at the cost of a weeks' inconvenience. Best, David

abandoned bicycle locked in sudoroom

by Jake

someone LOCKED their bicycle to a sewing machine in sudoroom, and it's been here for a while and whoever locked it hasn't labeled it. here's a picture: http://i.imgur.com/qZe4YrY.jpg so unless someone speaks up in the next few days, i'm going to cut the lock off and put the bike in the front room, it doesn't belong in sudoroom, especially not locked to a sewing machine table. also, the yellow bike formerly known as "substack's bike" is leaning against the vending machines and I don't see anyone riding it, it's apparently been abandoned here as well. If nobody wants to claim these bikes i think they should be taken to an appropriate community bike shop where they can benefit the people rather than clogging up our hackerspace. i'd much rather the space be clogged with cool stuff to hack on than unclaimed bicycles. thoughts? thanks. -jake
